PIGGY BANK in Berlin’s Babylon

Don’t miss the award-winning mockumentary PIGGY BANK (58. Hof International Film Festival 2024/Distribution Sixpackfilms) – bold, hilarious, and uncomfortably real.

On Thursday, September 11, 2025, at 10:00 PM, Christoph Schwarz‘s mockumentary film (Hof Critics Award– Best Production 2024) lights up the screen at Babylon Berlin (tickets here), as part of Cine.Austria – Art Cinema from Austria.

A broke filmmaker accepts a job from public broadcaster ORF to document a year of climate protests. But instead of sticking to the script, he secretly buys a weekend house – with the film’s budget. As fiction and reality collide, the camera captures not just the climate crisis, but the filmmaker’s own descent into moral chaos.

PIGGY BANK is razor-sharp satire meets climate activism – a story about ideals, compromise, and the fine art of self-deception. It’s funny. It’s painful. It’s now.

Catch it on the big screen – only at Babylon Berlin!
